I was having these horrible little breakouts with tinny pimples and a lot of clogged pores that where not inflamed. NOTHING would get rid of these little clogged pores. They made my skin bumpy and it looked clear inside but TERRIBLE in sunlight because of the texture.
I tried the Grapefruit Glycolic Wash from the Made From Earth brand, and within a week they are 95% gone. My skin is smooth and the color is evening out. I use it once each night before bed. The price seems high, but the bottle is huge and lasts quite a while. I will definitly be buying this again!!
Hello,
One possibility for such bumps is milia. They are white pimples that occur mostly on the upper cheeks, nose and chin. The best way to prevent milia is to avoid treating your skin with excessively harsh chemicals and to limit sun exposure. Also use good quality cosmetics and exfoliate your skin regularly. If still the symptoms persist then chemical peeling or laser removal can be done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Yes these are milia, very common and very similar to pimples in that they are caused from clogged pores from bacteria, sweat, oil and/or dead skin cells.
They are a little tougher to treat because their whiteheads are firmer than your typical pimple but very, very gentle exfoliation (especially under the eyes. Don't even risk it if you can't be supercareful!) can help shed the dead skin cells and make way for the new ones to surface.
You also might want to get a dermatologists' suggestion on a topical treatment since you've had them for years and they don't seem to be going away on their own.
In the meantime you can relax knowing they aren't permanent and there are solutions!

All the best.
I mean, they are only noticable when I'm in a BRIGHT place not Beige.
